Preventing memory decline in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests strategies to prevent Alzheimer's disease in people with early memory concerns. It may help if you notice your thinking is not as sharp as before, but you can still manage daily tasks on your own.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 85 years old.
- You have noticed a lasting decline in your memory or thinking, but tests show you are still in the normal range for your age.
- Or you have mild memory issues that affect you slightly in complex activities, but you are still independent.
- Your memory issues are not caused by another medical condition, medication, or substance use.
- You are fluent in Italian.
- You have not taken part in any clinical trial for experimental Alzheimer's drugs before.

This study follows adults 40+ to better understand and track changes in memory and thinking as people age. It groups people with normal thinking, subjective complaints, mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer’s, and vascular (blood vessel) related brain changes to find what predicts progression.
This trial studies a non-medication (non-drug) program to improve memory and daily thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by supporting brain function and monitoring symptoms over time.
This study follows people over time to better understand how memory and thinking complaints progress in early Alzheimer’s disease (from “subjective cognitive decline” to mild cognitive problems). It may help researchers understand who is likely to decline and how symptoms change, which could support future treatments.
This study uses a computer-based platform to test memory and thinking in healthy adults and in people with mild memory concerns (called aMCI). The goal is to better understand how memory changes with age and to spot early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
This study tests whether a healthy lifestyle program—combining nutrition advice and exercise training—can help protect brain health in people with early memory problems. It may be a good fit if you have mild cognitive concerns and are ready to make positive changes.
This study tests whether non-drug activities (like exercise, brain games, or lifestyle changes) can help prevent dementia in older adults with mild memory loss. You will take part in a program at the hospital and have regular checkups.
